Step Number One

Individuals with intellectual disabilities (over the age of 18), seeking local services are required to submit an application with Developmental Services Ontario (DSO). Brockville & Area Community Living Association can provide assistance to help you to get connected to this process.

Once the application has been submitted, an employee from the local DSO will visit you at home or at a local pre-arranged location to complete the necessary paper work and assessments.
